Question
During the thirty days after the conclusion of the shiva, is a mourner permitted to bathe and wear laundered clothes?
Answer
In practice, in Israel, it is customary to be lenient with lukewarm water that does not provide enjoyment, and laundered clothes should be worn briefly by someone else first.
